The Complete Guide to Natural Healing, East and West: Western Naturopathy, Traditional Chinese Medicine and Ayurveda

The answers to the body, health and disease, have never changed; they are just rarely explained, much less demonstrated by 50+ case histories. 

 
Controlling the physical and energetic nature—thick, thin, dry, watery, solid, hollow, building, cleansing, hot, and cold—of the body, every structure (nerves, glands, organs, blood, hormones, acids, enzymes, mucus, stool), whether healthy, diseased, tumoral, cancerous, or viral, largely via diet and herbs is the key, hidden in plain sight, that maintains health and prevents or cures most diseases.
 

• Health is normal thick, thin, dry, watery, spongey, solid, airy/hollow structure and optimal function: digestion, respiration, elimination, locomotion, reproduction, immunity, sleep, vision, memory, sleep

 

• Disease is abnormal—excessive building (protein, saturated fat, cholesterol, animal food), thickening, hardening (tumors, stones, atherosclerosis), thinning (osteoporosis, emaciation), fire (hyperacidity), water (edema, polyuria), dryness (skin, eyes, mouth, joint cracking), painful inflammation, severely impaired or painful bodily functions

 

 
Everything—the body, health, disease, the sun, the earth, and all matter—changes, builds up, and breaks down as an ongoing product of cause and effect. Most diseases have multiple causes (such as diet, medication, a sedentary lifestyle, climate, viruses, and toxins) and effects (symptoms). While some of these changes, causes, and effects can be controlled, altered, or eliminated, others cannot.

 

Poor diet (nutritional deficiencies, excesses, overeating, late meals) represent the leading cause. Most diet-related and some non-diet-related diseases, if not too severe, are generally curable via a correct diet and herbs. This is why I (#1-4), others (#5-7), and those I have counseled or met (#8) were able to cure, without doctors, drugs, surgery or nutritional supplements:

1. Atherosclerosis, high blood pressure, angina
2. Obesity, Plantar Fasciitis, insomnia, arthritis
3. Heartburn, poor vision, sour body odor, impotence
4. Sore throat, eczema, rashes
5. Anal fissure, Irritable Bowel Syndrome, Crohn's, neuralgia, common cold
6. Anemia, miscarriage, psoriasis, edema, sinusitis
7. GIRD, stomach flu, anxiety, bladder infection, Attention Deficit (ADHD)
8. Tumors, cancer (breast, pancreas)

 

The cure is temporary as poor diet will recreate the same or different disease.

• You do not need 200+ herbs or formulas, as there are only five core flavor categories. Because herbs within the same category overlap and share similar therapeutic effects, you generally only need access to 40 to 50 common herbs: ten staple kitchen spices, and five select herbs each from the bitter, sweet, sour (includes astringent) and salty categories. My book: 50+ herbs
• You do not need (for the most part) nutritional supplements, which do not replace the vitaility nor match the nutrition of sun and earth enriched food, not a  laboratory product.
• You do need to know biology, matter and energetics (see Table of Contents below) to properly diagnose and adjust the physical and energetic nature of the body and all its parts, body, mind and spirit.
• If you do not know the whole (biology), you can never truly understand—much less master—the individual parts.

 

Discover how the right foods and herbs help your body heal, and why the wrong choices bring back illness. This natural healing guide combines modern science with ancient food energetics. You will learn how to diagnose and find the hidden dietary root of most diseases.
